CoreSite Honored by 2020 Women on Boards

DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 9, 2019--
CoreSite Realty Corporation (NYSE:COR), a premier provider of secure, reliable, high-performance data center and interconnection solutions in major U.S. metropolitan areas, has been named a Winning ‘W’ Company by 2020 Women on Boards for achieving at least 20% women on its corporate board before the year 2020.

Winning ‘W’ Companies are cited in the 2020 Women on Boards (2020WOB) annual Gender Diversity Index which tracks the numbers of corporate board seats held by women among the Russell 3000 Index. As of 2018, the percentage of board seats held by women rose to 17.7%, up from 16.0% in 2017. This upward trend represents good progress, but still, half of the Russell 3000 companies have one or no women on their boards.

“CoreSite was recognized by 2020 Women on Boards for having 20% of our Board members represented by women, including Jean Bua and Kelly Chambliss. Jean and Kelly are important members of our Board, and we thank them for their unique, valuable, and well-informed perspectives, expertise and experience that they bring to the CoreSite Board of Directors,” said Paul Szurek, CoreSite President and Chief Executive Officer. “We have a strong commitment to diversity and inclusion at CoreSite, which starts with our Board.”

Jean A. Bua, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of NETSCOUT, joined the CoreSite Board in May 2017, and currently serves as Chair of the Audit Committee and a member of the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee.

Kelly C. Chambliss, General Manager and Managing Partner of IBM Global Business Services in North America, joined the CoreSite Board in September 2016, and currently serves as a member of the Nominating/Corporate Governance and Compensation Committees.
